1 B2B STRATEGIES FOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ebxml TRP

2 Goal The ebxml goal: To accomplish cross-industry XML-based business process integration. Business events are building blocks that must be understood. Determine the requirements for XML-based information exchange processes in applicationto-application, application-to-person and personto-person application environments. Validate the requirements with at least one instance of cross-industry integration.

9 The Cost of Paper vs. Electronic Transactions % % % % % % Paper % Cost % % 0.00%

10 SC Example Cost Computation Assuming a fairly normal value chain implementation with 20% remaining offline, 20% of those online are SME s that have integrated their Electronic Commerce interfaces to their back-office systems. The error rate is 3% from those online SMEs (80%) that have not integrated into their backoffice systems. If it costs $10 million dollars to support a perfect world value chain then it would cost over $24.7 million dollars to support one with only 80% online and 3% errors for those online but not completely integrated with their back-office systems. Another way to express this is if it now costs $10 million to manage a value chain as described above then it would cost only $4 million to run one where all were online and there were very few errors. The cost saving are mostly accrued to the supply chain masters

20 ebxml Security The Characteristics element describes the security characteristics provided by the delivery channel. The Characteristics element has the following attributes: a nonrepudiationoforigin attribute a nonrepudiationofreceipt attribute a securetransport attribute a confidentiality attribute an authenticated attribute an authorized attribute
